If you can understand lighting, reflections, cars and everything else you'll be on your way to making some really good stuff otherwise you'll just be named as a tracer.

Regarding me, that is.

Um ok*becomes ALPHA's agent due to overwhelming response*
You're fired! I got no message! Jokes of course.I'm sorry, but Mr. ALPHA is not in right now. Would you like to leave a message, so he could pwn you A.S.A.P?
You do know this is all a joke, and well, we're not trying to mock you or anything, but the comments you give are really great, and I personally enjoy reading them. It's like a third eye which spys on you, seeing all the corners you cut and stuff.
I just woke up! I'll do it like tomorrow, because that bike is absolutely amazing. I'm going to have to be very nit picky with it.Hey Alpha? Can I be pwned next? (with your criticism)

Donbenni that's a nice Audi there.
-If you add in the rest of the hood lines between the headlights it will look a bit more realistic and finished. The grill seems to be "floating" and the red part of the hood seem unfinished it might look better if some reflection or highlights are add??
Thanks for the interest, i'll just clear up a few things for. I traced the vector from a photo so the lines and everything are just as they are on the photo. The red section of the bonnet is all as one. There IS shading on the bonnet. Look closer. I agree the grille's a bit off, but hey, what can do? (rhetorical)
-Offset that highlight line or streak line that goes from the glass on to the roof just a smuge and it will make the body look more separate from the glass.
Groovy
-The bottom line on the right air intake is a little curved verus the straiter line on the left, can that be fixed to match better?
That's how i wanted it to look, so no, it can't be fixed
-Have everything under the right headlight shift forward more to show the bumper a little more because it looks like from the left headlight there should be a little bump.
Um
-That curve to the bottom of the red part of the hood looks crooked or it curves up on the right a little too much.
I know, ta
-The slant line to the top of the right headlight could be a bit higher on the right where it goes toward the fender.
Yep
-The hood/fender line on the right seems a little off, more of a sharp curve towards the headlight.
Yep
-The rear fender as the inside curve of the wheel opening comes toward you it disapears into the line on top of that, might need to be more of a parallel line and then graduate into the other line lower towards the side skirt of the car. Or more like that front wheel opening?
Before saying that it should be fixed, consider that maybe it looks right. I think the problem is more the outline weight.
The wheels are great and everything else looks good.
Thank you, come again

I'd agree a moving car is a lot hard and for this I give you credit.
-If you look at the side skirt where the top edge meets the bottom edge of the door that line pops out and you clearly see it's a separation of panels so if you put in a white strip like that with the black line in the door parting lines it will help make the car look more realistic.
-Around the glass putting that white line in might help make a separation between the glass and the body too.
-Where the glass and the rear engine cover meet it looks weird? The line from the glass goes straight into a parting line for the hood and if I remember the hood is at a little different angle than the glass line? No?
-The two wings look like they don't have enough detail in them or maybe the shadows aren't working that well? The arms to the top spoiler look flat they don't seem to have the feeling of thickness to them.
-The crease line to the right side of the license plate opening seems a little far over if you look at the end of the tail light on the left the left crease line to the license plate holder is a little after that. So for the right it would either line up with the beginning of the tail light or a little before it.
-There seems to be a little bump where the beginning of the front pillar and the roof meet up. Also the on the right back edge of the roof and glass meet.
-The black part of the wheels where it touches the rim edge could be more parallel even though the car is moving. May be also make circular lines and fade the "spoke" lines to show the wheels in movement?
I think that's about all that's needed?
I think ALPHA got most of this one but from the windshield forward the whole thing seems to be shifting to the left. The edge of the hood is not parellel to the windshield lines. Is this more the way the pic was taken? like a fisheye lens?

I use Illstrator for the vectors, and use Photoshop to add finishing touches (borders, and minor work).
That bike is looking fantastic. Love the details, and the front brakes still looks neat.
EDIT :
I could make one.
1600x1200 will do? You could always resize it later on.![]()

Much closer to being done, but still not done. I'll link because the pic is huge. I didn't fix the seat or the windscreen yet, and the turn signals are puke worthy, but other than that I think it turned out ok. Radial gradients worked great for the tires (extremely easy.)
T3h Huge!
